First guitar build (Steinberger content)

[vampiregenocide]

First I was like 'HOW CAN YOU RUIN THAT FINISH YOU BALLBAG' then I was like 'DEAR GOD I HAVE AN ERECTION'.


Also I just finished watching 'The Thing' which this finish is kinda reminding me of. I really like it! You should definitely do more guitars like this when this one is finished. I look forward to seeing the final product.

I think the only guitar I want more than this one right now is my custom being built. Other than that, I'd do incredibly nasty things for this. Like, really.

REALLY.

Haha glad you like it. My uncle said if enough people did, he'd start doing custom paint jobs like this. If you'd ever be interested, just tell me

Wow that looks fantastic, VERY nice work on the finish

Hoooooooooooly tits.

I'm 99.9% against painted guitars. This fits in the .1 with a VERY select few (with Daemoness and maybe a Learn)

goddamn... it's perfect. The artwork really reminds me of my own, it's awesome.

First I thought that the paintjob totally sucked, then after your details, I fucking love it!!!

First build Steinberger is an awesome idea, maybe gonna build one myself, or upgrade my own.

Keep it up man!

It's at another "halfway" point, so there's probably going to be some major changes. This is no where near final, but here's some progress.

Also ignore the brown at the bottom as much as possible. That's going to be much darker and have more detail. That was just done to get the structure down.

Annnd, the detail:

Good gawd. I don't know what those things are but I know they are in the ocean somewhere, it's coming together really well!

Jesus Christ.

mod edit: some thing should be done by pm, the rest of your post was one of them

Edit: Sorry!

It made a lot of progress last night

I've edited this next one just a tiny bit, saturation and color-wise. I'm trying to give you guys an accurate idea of what it looks like. The blues are still a little more teal-y, but this looks almost exactly like it does in person. The contrast of colors really pops like the real deal.

(Hopefully the bumping every few days isn't a big deal. Everyone seems to be enjoying it, so I hope it's not an issue! Don't want to get on anyone's nerves or get in trouble!)

Thanks guys! Hey, I have a quick question. Not sure if it'll happen or not, but I'm just experimenting with ideas in my head.

What do you think of a binding? I think a red binding would really compliment the painting. Or possibly the green. I'm torn at this point, it may not have one at all, but I'm thinking about it! Thanks for the help!

(Edit: A white binding is also in question now, tell me what you think )
